This has happened to me in V1.3 (steam) if I save and load submerged at periscope depth.
I think it also happened once when I was surfaced, but I haven't noticed it since I got the U-boat addon which is V1.5.
Usually happens in water less than 70 feet deep. Periscope depth is 60-ish in a big boat (Gato, Balao).
If I am in shallow water, I try to come up to about ~45-54 feet (radar should be out of the water) and then save. Haven't had it happen to me since.
My best guess is that your boat is "placed" at the depth, then "released" and the physics take just a second to "kick-in" and in that time, you "bounce" off the bottom.
The extra 10-15 feet seems to help. Never any planes around when I tested it to see what was happening.
